In the event that, after the effective date of the franchise agreement, any court, agency, commission, legislative body, or other authority of competent jurisdiction: (i) declares a franchise agreement invalid, in whole or in part, or (ii) requires the franchisee either to: (a) perform any act which is inconsistent with any provision of the franchise agreement or (b) cease performing any act required by any provision of the franchise agreement, the city shall reasonably determine whether said declaration or requirement has a material and adverse effect on the franchise agreement. If the city determines that said declaration or requirement does have a material and adverse effect on the franchise agreement, the franchisee shall, upon the city’s request, enter into good faith negotiations with the city to consider amendments to the franchise agreement to eliminate any inconsistency or conflict between said declaration or requirement and the provisions of the franchise agreement and to meet the original intent of the parties as the circumstances warrant and unless prohibited by law. Neither party is required to agree to such re-negotiations or amendments, and either party may terminate the franchise agreement without penalty. (Ord. 205 § 3, 2001)
